Polarity reversible rectifying circuit

Claim 1

IN A RECTIFYING CIRCUIT OF A POLARITY REVERSIBLE TYPE FOR RECTIFYING AN ALTERNATING CURRENT COMPRISING A FOUR POLE DOUBLE THROW SWITCH INCLUDING TWO OUTER ROWS AND AN INNER ROW OF CONTACTS, OF FOUR CONTACTS EACH, AND A FOUR BLADE SWITCH ALTERNATELY OPERABLE FOR CONNECTING EACH CONTACT OF THE INNER ROW OF CONTACTS TO THE CORRESPONDING CONTACT OF ONE OR THE OTHER OF THE OUTER ROW CONTACTS; A RECTIFIER CONNECTED BETWEEN THE FIRST AND SECOND CONTACT OF ONE OF THE OUTER ROWS OF CONTACTS; A CAPACITOR CONNECTED BETWEEN THE THIRD AND FOURTH CONTACTS OF SAID ONE OUTER ROW OF CONTACTS; A FIRST CONDUCTOR CONNECTED FROM THE FIRST CONTACT OF SAID ONE OUTER ROW TO THE SECOND CONTACT OF THE OTHER OUTER ROW; A SECOND CONDUCTOR CONNECTED FROM THE FIRST CONTACT OF SAID OTHER OUTER ROW TO THE SECOND CONTACT OF SAID ONE OUTER ROW, A THIRD CONDUCTOR CONNECTED FROM THE THIRD CONTACT OF SAID ONE OUTER ROW TO THE FOURTH CONTACT OF SAID OTHER OUTER ROW; A FOURTH CONDUCTOR CONNECTED FROM THE THIRD CONTACT OF SAID OTHER OUTER ROW TO THE FOURTH CONTACT OF SAID ONE OUTER ROW; A FIFTH CONDUCTOR CONNECTED BETWEEN THE SECOND AND THIRD CONTACTS OF SAID INNER ROW, AND A DIRECT CURRENT OUTPUT CONDUCTOR FOR SAID RECTIFIER LEADING FROM SAID FIFTH CONDUCTOR; AN ALTERNATING CURRENT INPUT CONDUCTOR FOR SAID RECTIFIER LEADING TO THE FIRST CONTACT OF THE INNER ROW OF CONTACTS; A CONDUCTOR PROVIDING BOTH AN ALTERNATING CURRENT INPUT TO SAID RECTIFIER AND A DIRECT CURRENT OUTPUT FROM SAID RECTIFIER LEADING TO THE FOURTH CONTACT OF THE INNER ROW OF CONTACTS, SAID RECTIFIER UPON AN ALTERNATE OPERATION OF THE SWITCH FROM A POSITION CLOSING SAID ONE OUTER ROW OF CONTACTS TO A POSITION CLOSING SAID OTHER OUTER ROW OF CONTACTS DURING THE APPLICATION OF AN ALTERNATING CURRENT ACROSS SAID INPUT CONDUCTORS, THERE IS EFFECTED ACROSS THE DIRECT CURRENT OUTPUT CONDUCTORS AN IMMEDIATE REVERSAL OF POLARITY WITHOUT SURGING TRANSIENT CURRENT AND AN OPERATION IN WHICH THE CAPACITOR IS RETAINED IN A CONTINUOUS CHARGED CONDITION.
